This brief descriptive manuscript details how the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice transitioned from a token economy to FW-PBIS in all 27 secure facilities throughout the state. The authors review the importance of using data to guide the decision-making process and provide an example of how facilities tracked data. Lastly, the authors discuss how allowing facilities, instead of the agency, to guide the use of FW-PBIS lead to cultural improvements.
